Since tomorrow I've
been fixing the time machine.
Just like yesterday.
Author and poet Michael Mortenson takes us on a dazzling journey through the history and elements of the science fiction genre. Pushing the boundaries of classical haiku, the collection takes on topics like the space race, superheroes, kaiju films, and space opera. Mortenson won the 2022 LDSPMA award for Best Emerging Poet for The Sci-Fi Haiku: Epoch 1.
Praise for The Sci-fi Haiku:
"Genuinely fun."
"As a fan of speculative fiction, these quick little poems on themes the genre is known for are so comforting to me. It's such a great break from the huge novels we all go for. Sometimes you just need a tiny bite of SFF, and these are just the thing."
"An unexpected and intriguing collection of poetry. The haiku range from the tart and witty, to the narrative and adventurous, to the thoughtful and profound. Some are genuinely beautiful."
